A TEACHER SPEAKS UP

Delaware teacher Dave Huber notes that forced integration of blacks and whites in Delaware public schools many years ago simply transformed all public schools into the sort of jungle that inner-city schools had always been: "Even as far back as 1975 (pre-official desegregation in New Castle County), noted [black] Delaware State Senator Herman M. Holloway noted a visit to a local city high school at the behest of a constituent whose daughter had been raped in one of the corridors. He remarked that "Disrespect for the faculty was evident. It was a scene that belonged anywhere but in a high school." He also commented on "the ultra sloppy dress of the students, the tremendous noise of the students gallivanting up and down the corridors, the absolute lack of discipline and even the timidity of the faculty members to attempt any control." The result now? "Delaware has the highest percentage of its students in private schools in the nation."
